Just a thought, but are you keeping each carb part separate and not mixing them up (and moving the problem from one to another?)
Flooding is generally down to a faulty float needle but if you put new ones in and it is still doing it then have a look at the floats - do they have a hole in them which is letting them fill with fuel and so not floating?
Are the floats free to move and not sticking?
Keep us posted how you get on (or do we have to wait for the next bank holiday to find out

)
